Jayson Tatum is not rooting for any particular team in the NBA Finals, he revealed in an interview with Dan Roberts of Front Office Sports.
What did Jayson Tatum say?
Tatum stated "I'm not rooting for anybody, I'm also not rooting against anybody” and that having already won a championship helps him sleep better at night.
He enjoys watching good basketball games, which is what the NBA Finals have been providing so far.
How have the NBA Finals been going?
The New York Knicks are currently leading the series 3-1 against the San Antonio Spurs, after a dramatic Game 4 win at Madison Square Garden.
The Spurs had the largest halftime lead ever recorded by a road team in NBA Finals history, but squandered it and lost 107-106.
What's next for the Spurs?
The Spurs will need a strong performance from Victor Wembanyama in Game 5 to extend the series and force a Game 6.
De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell will also be crucial in providing perimeter scoring and decision-making.
The Spurs have a 1-5 record in games where they built a lead of at least 10 points, and will need to improve on this statistic to keep their championship hopes alive.
Can the Spurs turn it around?
The Spurs will need near-flawless play from their key players to turn the series around and win the championship.
As Jayson Tatum watches from the sidelines, he'll be enjoying the good basketball on display, regardless of who wins.
The Knicks are on the brink of their first title in decades, and the pressure is on the Spurs to perform.
